WAS Provides The Optimal Infrastructure For A
Wide Spectrum Of Emerging Workloads

WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile
For rapid development and light-weight
production deployment with high scalability
• Web Profile certified (Liberty Core Edition)
• Small footprint (< 54MB), quick startup (< 3 sec)
• Developer-first design of simple, shareable XML
configuration
• Dynamic runtime and configuration
• Unzip install and deploy
• Fidelity to WebSphere Application Server Full Profile
• Monitoring and mgmt through Admin Center or
scripting
• Install new features from repository with no server
restart
• Lightweight collective management scales to 10,000
servers

Simplified Server Configuration
Any of this configuration could be put into a
separate xml file and 'included' in this
'master' configuration file
'instance' configurations specify
multiple resources like applications
and datasource definitions
Features control which capabilities
(bundles) are installed in the server
'singleton' configurations specify
properties for a runtime service like
logging

Dynamic Configuration
• Dropin application install and update
• Configuration files also monitored for updates
‒All configuration changes are dynamic
running server
Add
<application/>
Add
<feature>jdbc-4.0</feature>
<dataSource/>
Add <library/>
Modify
<dataSource>
<properties/>
</dataSource>

• Package up a compressed archive of a configured Liberty
server type along with its applications
‒ Directly from Eclipse
environment
‒ Resulting zip can be copied to
integration or production
environment and unzipped.
• For test automation outside the IDE, a
command-line program to manage the
lifecycle of server instances:
‒ Create [serverName]
‒ Start and stop [serverName]
‒ Package [serverName]
‒ Status [serverName]
• Updates to configuration of running server are effective
immediately.
• Add/remove apps dynamically by drag/drop to monitored
directory.
Liberty – “Packaged Server” Deployment Option

Liberty Kernel
The Liberty Repository holds all of the content that you can install on
the Liberty Kernel to make your own customized app server: New
Features, Samples, Scripts, Open Source integration, Betas
• Repo hosts IBM code as well as open
source integration samples for popular
open source pkgs
• Enables our continuous delivery
• Serves as the base for dynamically
built Buildpacks for Bluemix.
• Hosted on www.wasdev.net or on-
premise (planned)

Zero Migration By Design
• There is no migration needed for Liberty
configuration
‒the same server configurations can be used with different
versions and service levels of the runtime
‒set WLP_USER_DIR to shared configuration and apps
• Existing features will not change behavior
‒new feature ‘versions’ will be added and will contain all
updates and changes
• Supported versions of Java (J2SE) will move forward
‒Several of the Java EE 7 technologies require Java 7
‒Java 6 will go out of support at some point
• WebSphere Application Migration Tool already has support to
identify J2SE 6 -> 7 changes needed by an application

Comprehensive Administration, Extended Programming
Models and Full Intelligent Management
WebSphere Application Server Full Profile
• Super-set of APIs provided by Liberty
• Support for older as well as current Java EE levels.
• Integrated high availability of servers and continuous
availability of mission critical applications
• Application version management to keep applications
online as version updates are released into production
• Comprehensive administration of cell-based topologies
through Admin console or scripting
• Installation through IBM Installation Manager
